Though the powerful Indiana State Teachers Association has endorsed federal aid. Governor Harold Handley and his elected superintendent of public instruction, Wilbur Young, do not want it. According to their estimates, the state needs to build somewhere around 1,600 classrooms a year, has actually built more than that since 1955. Says Governor Handley: "I am opposed to federal aid for the primary reason that we can take care of ourselves."

Waving placards and shouting "Veto!", some 7,500 wrought-up Indianans marched into the Statehouse in Indianapolis last week to protest against a "right-to-work" bill passed, after long debate, by the Republican-dominated state legislature. After huddling with union delegates, Republican Governor Harold W.

They notified him that they would drop his show when his option comes up in five weeks. Cost of tuning...
...Comet disasters cost Britain upwards of $30 million. Another plane-the Bristol Brabazon-was designed to carry 100 passengers nonstop across the Atlantic, but it turned into a Rube Goldberg nightmare. Four other big airliners-the Armstrong Whitworth Apollo turboprop, the Handley Page Hermes, the Avro Tudor and the $6.4 million Vickers 1000-also had little success and were scrapped...
